After a night of rest, it was exciting to meet our new guests. We had long ago planned down time the first day to let them acclimate to after a grueling 14+ hours of flying, a huge time change, and lack of sleep. Here they are at the Carman’s lake home in Loveland, looking chipper as ever. They are (listed from left to right, front row then back row): Vova, Sasha, “Little” Dima, “Little” Yulia, Olya & “Big” Dima, Tatianna (chaperon), Nastya, “Big” Yulia (chaperon) and Marina. With them are Eric Carman, Clarke & Amanda Stoesz of UOO.
